Our Verdict

For

Against

Hoping to take the water-cooling world by storm is Thermaltake with its Water 2.0 range. This is its budget offering, the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer.

General rule of life number 3: water and anything electrical should never mix. As a life lesson, keeping to that rule will generally lead to a longer life.

Only it seems nobody told the enthusiast's in the computing community, as water-cooling has long been a way for serious overclockers to keep things cool.

Times change, of course, and water cooled PCs are now offered by system builders as a matter of course.

Thanks to the arrival of fully enclosed kits, like this Water 2.0 Performer, liquid-cooling is now within everybody's reach. The latest of these kits to hit the labs bench comes from the guys that know a thing or two about cooling; Thermaltake.
